Ederson Couple of sharp saves, but his passing was better than that of the entire United midfield - 7
Kyle Walker His vigorous, physical style is a perfect fit for all-action derbies like this one - 7
John Stones Gave City more control than Dias would, and was the launching pad for several attacks - 7
Aymeric Laporte Not afraid to mix it when needed, as Maguire discovered - and his passing was key to City's left-sided dominance - 7
Joao Cancelo Not always convincing in defence, but attacked superbly - and if that volley had gone in ..... 7
Rodri Exerted more and more control over the central areas and was a vital fulcrum of attacks - 7
Bernardo Silva Continues to be a devilish presence on derby days, creating the first goal and causing general mayhem - 8
Kevin De Bruyne Two goals, an assist, and surges from deep that United simply could not handle. Utterly brilliant - 9
Riyad Mahrez Felt left out by City's left-side preference so he weighed in with two excellent goals - 9
Jack Grealish This was the player City paid £100million for - dynamic, deliberate, intelligent. Did everything but score - 9
Phil Foden His ball-juggling for the second goal was exquisite and he led Maguire a merry dance throughout. 8
Ilkay Gundogan
(for De Bruyne 80)
Not used: Carson, Mbete, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, McAtee, Jesus, Delap, Sterling
